The video went viral, before being deleted by YouTube, with Bentley's channel being removed from YouTube shortly after.

> [@madmonk28](#): > > American who moved his family to Russia to avoid woke agenda being sent to front lines in Ukraine. I read about this a while back and check their YouTube channel occasionally to see how it’s going. It seems the husband couldn’t figure out how to support his family there without joining up, though, of course, he spouts the propaganda whole-heartedly. Wife doesn’t seem to be doing so great. They can’t afford a car even with military pay which makes it difficult for her to get a job. None of them speak Russian. Apparently whatever research they did before moving there was not very comprehensive. But it’s not woke! [Huffman Time - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@HuffmanTime) ---

My personal take - based on scanty information so I could be wrong - is that the man wasn’t so much “duped” into signing up for a combat role as not realizing that the Russian government pretty much views everyone outside a small group of elite Russians as cannon fodder. It’s always been that way with the Russian military, but these “not-Woke” folks apparently did not do the research before moving to another country. If the government thinks about them at all it’s about the propaganda value of an American moving to Russia and joining the army. Move to another country to live there when you don’t know the language? Well, better start learning. ---

Of all the reasons to bail out of the country.

Of course that entire political movement continues to scream at the top of its lungs about how much “woke” is an unstoppable force and only ever-greater sacrifices will enable our heroic white supremacist bullies to prevail. Every day the news is the same: Oh Noes, we’re _still_ losing the battle against “woke”. ---

However, since he’s actually drunk the kool aid, I’m sure he will continue to say that life in America is worse because they force children to become trans and autistic there, while engaging in a purge of white christians etc. No evidence of his actual eyes and ears could be as bad as the monsters in the memes. ---

A meaningless practical joke he played upon himself.
